There should also be a file called svgdata.py.

I think this means that you're using an old version of Python.  Try

  python -V

to see what version you've got.  SVGscan needs Python 2.4.

I could change the above so that it would work with older versions of
Python, but SVGscan really needs Python 2.4 anyway, because in earlier
versions xml.parsers.expat didn't have the CurrentLineNumber and
CurrentColumnNumber that I use for reporting the location of problems.
